Fire advisory lifted for Rocky View County

Due to improving conditions, Rocky View County Fire Services has lifted its Fire Advisory for East and West Rocky View County.

Effective immediately, there are no fire advisories or bans in the East and West divisions of the County, and permit burning is allowed.

Always follow safe burning practices.

The advisory was put in place after the wildfire northwest of Airdrie on Tuesday.

Officials believe the fire was the result of a downed powerline and that gusting winds spread the fire up over approximately 350 acres.

County officials said that there were no, 'significant losses' and extended thanks to residents for their quick actions.
